Chuck appreciated that Uncle Oly always made time to hang with him at family gatherings - promoting the outlaw in-law dance with the Barich clan. We loved his humor. I will always remember his comment on our upcoming retirement: "Wait til you see those magic checks keep coming when you aren't working. That's when the fun begins!"

I was saddened to hear of the sudden loss of Uncle Oly. I am so glad he had spent a great day with his family ~ one of Oly's greatest joys. I cannot thank him enough for being there for us when Mom & Dad passed. Uncle Oly was a great support, steady and calming. My Dad enjoyed his visits so much & the only "Navy" guys in the family sharing Navy stories. I am thinking of you all and sending out a few prayers for you & Oly. Hugs!

Uncle Oly always made me smile whenever we had a conversation. His sense of humor would fill a room with laughter. I enjoyed listening to any story of his life he shared. For me he was a beacon of light that shined to make sure his life was full of love and caring for his family and friends. I miss you Uncle Oly!! Love Lisa
After 10 years as a secondary teacher, and five years as a high school assistant principal, I took a position at the Educational Service District 101 in Spokane as a curriculum coordinator. I served in this position for 10 years, prior to becoming a school superintendent. It was during my time at ESD that I met Lloyd while he was Chimacum School Superintendent. I learned a lot from him about leadership, decision-making and how a sense a humor could be an advantage as a school supt. The year he retired, 1989, I began my first superintendency. I have a number of wonderful memories of Lloyd, especially his warm smile. May God bless his family and close friends.
